How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.2 ImageMagick-config-7-SUSE to version 7.0.7.34-10.9.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ImageMagick-config-7-SUSE package and not the ImageMagick-config-7-SUSE package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.2 relevant fixed versions and status.

in SetImageExtent() of /MagickCore/image.c, an incorrect image depth size can cause a memory leak because the code which checks for the proper image depth size does not reset the size in the event there is an invalid size. The patch resets the depth to a proper size before throwing an exception. The memory leak can be triggered by a crafted input file that is processed by ImageMagick and could cause an impact to application reliability, such as denial of service. This flaw affects ImageMagick versions prior to 7.0.9-0.
